I have an Ariens ST1032 (parts blower) and I am trying to remove the engine from the frame but it is stuck on the studs (looks like it was sitting outside for a while and corrosion built up between the studs and the engine base holes).
Has anyone had to deal with this? If so, what are my options or approaches as to separate the engine from the frame?
Thanks...!

can you get a pry bar like auto techs use between the motor base and tractor frame? spray something like wd 40 or your prefered around the studs try to rock the motor side to side with the bar.

they are normally only a 5/16 or 3/8 bolt/stud so hopefully you won't have to use to much force
